5.00This was an incredible way to view Aruba. Our friendly guide kayaked alongside us along a beautiful coastline to Mangroves and back prior to one of the longest snorkeling excursions I've ever been on. The waters were full of life and beauty the whole trip.

5.00This was a super fun and experience. The water was very choppy the day we went but the reef we kayaked out to was protected by a rocky barrier so it was still very safe and we got to snorkel and see many beautiful fish. The guide was very knowledgeable about the area and history and was even kind enough to drive my boyfriends wallet out to our hotel before we realized we had accidentally left it behind with him.
You should pick this one!!

5.00We had an incredible time on this kayak and snorkel tour! The experience was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation, and the scenery was absolutely stunning. What really made it special was our guide— Derrold - he was knowledgeable, personable, and genuinely fun to be around. He shared so much about the local marine life, Aruba’s coastline, and island history in a way that was easy to follow and super engaging. We felt totally safe and well taken care of throughout the tour. The pace was comfortable, and the snorkeling stop had some of the clearest water and healthiest coral we’ve ever seen. Whether you’re new to kayaking or have some experience, this tour is a must-do. We left with great memories, a few laughs, and some awesome photos too. Highly recommend!
Basically, you are just Kayaking in the bay. We could have done this at our resort.

2.00Although the guide was very nice, this tour was pretty lame. You Kayak out to "Reef Island" and jump on a decrepit pier and snorkel in rough water for 15 minutes. We then got back in the kayak and went to some random canal with a bridge. The mangroves on the side of the canal might as well have been maple trees. Boring and nothing to see. You then Kayak back to the beginning. The only fruit offered was a bag of salted pistachios.

5.00It was a little windy which is normal for the island. Rambo was our tour guide along with Adrianna. We kayaked out to Mangel Halto platform where we went snorkeling on the reef. Afterwards we kayaked to Spanish Lagoon.before kayaking back to our starting point. Rambo was a wealth of information about snorkeling the reef and Aruba’s history.

4.00Did the kayak trip at Mangel Halto and Spanish lagoon with snorkel stop by the reef. We had a lot of fun doing both. The wind wasn't too strong and the water was very clear. The guide was knowledgeable and very helpful. We would do it again.

5.00Had a great time on our snorkel and kayak excursion! Philip was a wonderful guide.. so personable and continually checked in on each person in the group to make sure all was well. Great pace, nice snorkeling. Just the right amount of time. Really enjoyed the beautiful and more rustic Mangel Halto. Would highly recommend them!
